Just a name they say.
Live on they tell me.
Go day by day,
Live in his memory,
Go on for him,
It will only get better,
You'll find another,
No I won't.
He can't be replaced, or forgotten
Shame on your ignorance for even suggesting that.
Watching him writhing,
His cold lifeless eyes.
Do you know how it feels to watch your best, oldest, and only friend to begin his journey.
His journey to whatever is beyond the end?
Do you understand how it feels to gain hope with each shudder?
I cried on his cold shoulder until the vet dragged me away.
It wasn't a storytale death.
I tried to close his eyes,
But they refused to stay shut.
So with him my only chance of happiness died.
